SKG → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Balkan Peninsula and Central Europe, the Right Side is preferred for the spectacular High Tatra mountains and the iconic aerial view of the Øresund Bridge upon arrival in Copenhagen.

Belgrade and the Danube
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is clearly visible as the flight passes over the Serbian capital.
Budapest Panorama
Excellent views of the Hungarian Parliament and the historic bridges spanning the Danube.
High Tatra Mountains
The highest range of the Carpathians offers sharp, alpine peaks on the border of Slovakia and Poland.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge-tunnel connecting Denmark and Sweden is most visible on the right during the final approach to CPH.
Malmö Waterfront
The Swedish coast and the 'Turning Torso' skyscraper are clearly visible across the strait from Copenhagen.
Choose the right side specifically for the arrival phase. The Øresund Bridge is one of Europe's most impressive sights from the air. In the winter, the High Tatras are often covered in thick snow, making them a highlight of the mid-flight duration.

Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods is visible shortly after takeoff to the southwest, often capped with snow.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic limestone peaks and rugged karst landscapes stretching across the Balkan region.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake appears as a long, turquoise stripe in the Hungarian landscape.
Prague Cityscape
On clear days, the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the winding Vltava River can be seen to the west.
Danish Coastline
Beautiful views of the Zealand islands and the Baltic Sea as the plane descends into Kastrup.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also superior for spotting Mount Olympus right after departure from SKG, provided you look backward and slightly west.
